Heffel's $13.6 Million Fine Art Auction News release E.J. Hughes and Jean Paul Lemieux Paintings Lead Way in Heffel's $13.6 Million Fine Art Auction VANCOUVER - May 17, 2011, 10:00 p.m. PST A rare E.J. Hughes painting from the 1940s was the front runner at the Heffel Fine Art Spring Auction, going under the hammer for $1,140,750 (all prices include a 17 per cent buyers premium). Representing one of only a dozen Hughes paintings from the late 1940s, Coastal Boats Near Sidney, BC, a 36 1/8 x 48 1/8 inch oil on canvas attracted a lot of attention and soared past its pre-auction estimate of $700,000 to $900,000 in a three-caller bidding war. Excitement over Hughes works continued when Mouth of the Courtenay River, a 30 x 40 inch oil on canvas, signed and dated 1952, sold for $789,750. Heffel Fine Art Auction House recorded the sixth highest grossing Canadian fine art auction tonight at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The auction exceeded its conservative presale estimate of $8 to $12 million, selling $13.6 million worth of Canadian art. The $8.8 million afternoon session set a record for Post-War and Contemporary art. Two Jean Paul Lemieux works garnered significant attention. Dimanche, an oil on canvas, signed and dated 1966, created a new record when it went under the hammer for $819,000. Les Moniales, a painting that exhibited in Moscow when Lemieux travelled there in 1974 and 1975, broke this record and sold for an impressive $1,023,750. "The Hughes and Lemieux works in the sale represented both artists at their finest. Coastal Boats took Hughes six to eight months of 12 hour days to paint and is a true aesthetic footprint of the artist. Dimanche is classic Lemieux featuring a single figure in a sombre background," says Robert Heffel of Heffel Fine Art Auction House. "It was an honour for us to represent these works and witness the excitement surrounding them." Additional highpoints in the auction included Jean-Paul Riopelle's Sans titre from 1955, which also hit the million dollar mark selling for $1,082,250. The auction featured five Riopelle works which collectively sold for $1,477,125. Works by Group of Seven member Lawren Stewart Harris sold for a collective $810,225. This included Harris' North Shore, Lake Superior, Pic Island II, an oil on board that is part of the artist's pivotal Lake Superior series, which sold for $269,100. Alexander Young (A.Y.) Jackson's Smart River, Alaska Highway received considerable attention, more than doubling its estimate of $125,000 to $175,000, selling for $479,700. Three Helen Galloway McNicoll works were on the auction block as well. The standout amongst the McNicoll works was an oil on canvas, Market in Brittany, which sold for $234,000. David Brown Milne's Woman and Bright Trees, West Saugerties, NY, an oil canvas created in 1913 to 1914 when the artist was working in New York, sold for $409,500. The auction also featured five pieces by Emily Carr including Trees in the Wind Circle from 1938, which sold for $198,900. Gnarled Tree, a strong example of early vibrant work from Canada's first lady of fine art, sold for $234,000. Tonight's auction featured works from the estates of Montreal collector Theodosia Dawes Bond Thornton, Andrée Lavigne-Trudeau, who was married to the brother of former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, and Edgar and Dorothy Davidson. The Davidson estate featured 34 lots and had a conservative estimate of $2.5 to 3.5 million. The combined total of the estate sold for $4,883,580. "The Davidson's were bold collectors, choosing works they felt were the best expressions of Canadian ideals, issues, politics and life - works in which they saw enduring value and above all, the finest of quality," says David Heffel of Heffel Fine Art Auction House. "It was a privilege to present this estate and to be considered a leader in estate sales in the fine art auction industry." Tonight's auction presented 167 lots. In total, 12 new records were set and 26 paintings exceeded the $100,000 mark. "This auction featured one of our finest collections of artwork to date with exceptional works from Canadian artists such as Gordon Smith, David Blackwood, Rita Letendre, Takao Tanabe, Maurice Galbraith Cullen, Cornelius David Krieghoff and Kathleen Moir Morris," says David Heffel. "This $13.6 million sale is a notable night for our business and a significant night for Canadian art." The complete list of new Canadian fine art records follows below.

  • Radiant Energy the Hard-Edged Abstractions of Rita Letendre, Doris Mccarthy and Janet Jones
    Radiant Energy The Hard-Edged Abstractions of Rita Letendre, Doris McCarthy and Janet Jones Reflecting on her earliest years at her grandparents’ farm in Drummondville, Quebec, Rita Letendre mused in 1969 that it was there “I learned to fight, fist fight. And I learned to draw.”i That she paired anger with art-making at the very onset of her life and practice is unsurprising: Gaston Roberge, in his essay for Woman of Light, a 1997 retrospective highlighting fifty years of Letendre’s works on paper, titled his first subsection “Rage” in deference to her difficult upbringing and the racism she encountered in small-town Quebec: “My childhood is like a serious injury that has never healed… very early in life, I got used to protecting myself against people,” he quotes Letendre.ii Wanda Nanibush, co-curator of the Letendre retrospective Fire & Light at the Art Gallery of Ontario in 2017, situated this emotion within the artist’s intersectional subject position: “Her rage could well have sprung up as resistance to the violence she experienced as a child just for being Abenaki; a society that kept many in grinding poverty and its attendant social problems; a culture of deep religious conservatism; and a ridiculous world where the fact of being a woman limited all of one’s endeavors.”iii Making art at mid-century was an embattled undertaking for a woman. To make abstract art as an Indigenous woman could only be harder. Anger was one motivation that allowed Letendre to crash through the barriers put in her path, but Letendre also chased light and held it in each of her canvasses.

  • The Theme of Fire Resource
    Teacher Resource FIRE TOM THOMSON RITA LETENDRE FIRE-SWEPT HILLS, 1915 TABORI, 1976 Fire is one of the four Classical elements of nature, along with earth, water, and air. It can symbolize many different things, including life and death, warmth and decay, desire and sustenance, love and tears. With all of these layered meanings, fire has been an important source of inspiration for numerous artists. In Tom Thomson’s Fire-Swept Hills, fire is a destructive element, leaving behind charred remains of the forest. In Rita Letendre’s work Tabori, on the other hand, fire represents spiritual passion, the flame that keeps us moving forward. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS • What colours come to mind when you think about fire? • What images come to mind when you think of the word “fire”? • How does our relationship to fire change depending on the context? 1 continues > Teacher Resource continued SPOTLIGHT 1 TOM THOMSON, FIRE-SWEPT HILLS 1915 Fire Swept Hills shows the aftermath of fire—a formidable, destructive force.

  • Where Text Translation Fails, Art Speaks
    TranscUlturAl, vol. 11.1 (2019), 114-124 https://journals.library.ualberta.ca/tc/index.php/tc Where Text Translation Fails, Art Speaks Lynn Penrod University of Alberta Using the words of Hans Christian Andersen, “Where words fail, music speaks,” and applying them to our thinking about the concept of embodiment as it relates to translation, we open our minds to a wider conception of the ways in which translation affects contemporary ideas of what the field encompasses. Most of us who teach, study, or practice translation are through force of habit accustomed to think of the act of translation as primarily a linguistic and cultural transfer between text and text. In the applied translation courses, we usually teach from one language to another—French to English, Chinese to German, Spanish to Farsi—eternally pairing two, sometimes quite obstreperous, frenemies: words for words, sense for sense, across the no man’s land we face. How to translate a word like patriot? How to handle an apparently simple idiomatic phrase? How to convey a culturally sensitive argument? As translators we love languages, spoken and written, and we love reading the printed word. Yet sometimes our text translations fail us, and it is at these times that art can step in to speak. We all recognize that text translation involves other kinds of knowing, other knowledge that exists well beyond linguistic competence. These ways of knowing involve a deep understanding of and appreciation for other forms of cultural expression: art, music, dance, political and social structures and tensions, history, religion, philosophy, mythology, poetry, architecture, and sports—just to name the most obvious.

We express our sincere gratitude to the following: Art Gallery of Ontario McMichael Canadian Art Collection Modern Literature and Culture Research Centre, Ryerson University Faculty of Fine Arts, Concordia University Office of the Vice- President for Research and Graduate Studies, Concordia University Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Institute for Studies in Canadian Art, Concordia University Title page art credit: Kathleen Munn (1887-1974), Untitled (Cows on a Hillside) [Detail], c. 1916, oil on canvas, 78.7 x 104.1 cm, AGO Purchased with funds donated by Susan and Greg Latremoille, Toronto, 2006, 2006/8 WELCOME Welcome to the 4th conference of the Canadian Women Artists History Initiative. The conference centres on Canadian women’s experiences of the complex twentieth- century phenomenon known as the modern – an omnibus term uniting modernism as an aesthetic style, modernity as a new mode of existence, and modernization as the forces of transformation that brought both about. How did the visual and material cultures of Canadian women position them inside and out of the modern? And how does the art that women made turn modernism inside-out? A new travelling exhibition at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection – Uninvited: Canadian Women Artists in the Modern Moment – offers an unparalleled opportunity to pose these questions and others. In its title, the exhibition nods to the feminist art history of the 1980s and ’90s, when scholars of European and American art argued that women had effectively been constituted as modernism’s excluded other.

  • A Matter of Abstraction
    A Matter of Abstraction The quest for abstraction plainly influenced developments in contemporary aesthetics in Québec and Canada. This exhibition from the Musée Collection re-examines that quest, which Montréal School artists pursued in a profoundly original way beginning in the early 1940s, simultaneously with the main international movements. The exhibition comprises 104 significant works by fifty-six artists who were among the most important figures in the artistic renewal that took place during these decades of change. The panorama it describes—extending over seventy years, from 1940 to 2010—focuses on Québec works in the Collection. Primarily thematic, the exhibition is laid out chronologically in a historical perspective. It highlights an experience of form and colour firmly rooted in the non-representational and non-verbal, mainly within the aesthetics of painting and sculpture—at times radically different, and continually renewed from the early 1940s on.1 Throughout the exhibition space, which is fluidly organized in ten open Josée Bélisle zones, vantage points are provided on large groups of works as well as on certain single pieces. The division Curator of the Permanent by section immediately sheds light on their diversity and Collection complexity while giving free rein to the expressive power evident in each of them. 1 In “Commentaries on Some Current Anchored both in the present and of the gestural impulse (Marcelle Words,” Paul-Émile Borduas wrote, in history, this exhibition begins Ferron, 1960), deep commitment “Abstract:
